Brought up in Scotland, I am a writer who travels, interested in myth, nature and culture. Along with a horse called Sasha, I journeyed 111 days across Europe, creating the first conclusive horse-trail across the Ligurian Alps in recorded history. My debut book, In Green, follows this time.

Aged 18 I went in search of the Tsaatan tribe in northern Mongolia. On my return, I rode the length of the UK on a Highland pony called Irelanda. The solo trip raised £38,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and laid the foundation for The Big Hoof: a Scottish registered outdoor mental health charity that creates long distance journeys with horses. To date, the charity has travelled over 4,500 miles and raised over £100,000 for causes focussed on mental health, wellbeing and child welfare in the UK and Europe.

Since January 2023, I’ve has been working for NGO Insulate Ukraine. Driven by this time spent in Ukraine, I’ve been taken on as a creative director for an essayistic documentary on the meaning of Home - due to be released in spring 2027.

In 2025 I graduated with a master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Oxford. Beyond my travels, I am a freelance writer, contributing to The Guardian, National Geographic, The Scotsman and others.
